Insight on Today’s Society

The problems facing our world are generally presented in a highly depressing manner

You know that narrative - we all do. "Blah blah environmental devastation, starvation and obesity, rampant corruption, etc." It is common knowledge now - we were all born into a dying world. But that doesn't have to be such a bummer.

Have your ever just sat down and thought about how strange is it that humanity is literally destroying the world? That our actions could bring about the destruction of civilization and possibly our entire species? It is strange, yet it is also quite amazing!

Each of us, as part of the whole, has the ability to destroy this planet. What tremendous power! Sure - there are things they told us we can do to help "save the planet," like turn your water off while you brush your teeth or recycling. And not to minimize those things, but the small actions of a few are not going to "save the planet."

The technological advancements that got us into this mess, ironcially, is what is going to get us out of it. Check out the video below. It talks about how Moore's law also applies to basically any technology, including renewable energy.

Correct. We just don't talk. We have take necessary steps in our lives to control the environment.
Keep it up good work @theprism

You are absolutely right. But I think we have more people recognizing this now than before.

The planet doesn't need saving. The "saving game" needs to go away and people need to step up to the plate and take action and responsibility. I would have liked to here a solution from you instead of just what doesn't work.

Upvoted and thought about! What is going to save the planet? What does each individual need to do?

That is true.
